-use the 4930k when it comes out later
-fancy looking ram sticks will do nothing in terms of performance
-forget the crappy liquid coolers
-the gigabyte boards offer the best value for the money. the price of a equivalent asus would be the p9x79 pro at 309 ish
-there is practically no difference between mainstream SSDs and the top of the line models. you pay for milliseconds worth of performance improvments
-a 650w psu will handle a x79 rig with a high end GPU. a 850w is definitely not needed. if you were thinking of SLI, forget it as SLI will have no benefits towards rendering results
-the arc midi r2 for 59.99 is a great value

How much is option 1 would be the first question. For option 2, I have some recommendations that I think would be beneficial to performance and longevity. Also, must this computer be build now? Because 2011 is dying and will be replaced by a new 2011 in 2014 with haswell-e. If it must be build today though then the 3930k on 2011 is the correct choice.


Cooler Master CM Storm 150$ - Debatable Product IMO

Corsair HX 850 Gold- 170$ - Debatable Product IMO

Asus P9X79 LE 225$ – Non-Debatable Product IMO

Asus GTX 760 x 2 520$ - Debatable Product IMO

Benchmarks

Intel i7-3930K 570$ – Non-Debatable Product IMO

Samsung 840 Pro 128GB (Could increase size) 150$ – Non-Debatable Product IMO

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2x8GB 142 $– Non-Debatable Product IMO

Seagate HDD ST4000DM000 4TB
180$ – Non-Debatable Product IMO

Corsair Hydro H110 110$ – Non-Debatable Product IMO

Asus Burner $20 – Debatable Product IMO

Total Price @ Newegg 8/29/2013: $2,236.89

I would highly recommend this build; for its price to performance, it is quite unbeatable,

Prax
